Decreased protamine-1 transcript levels in testes from infertile men.
Infertile men exhibit an aberrant protamine-1 (Prm1) to protamine-2 (Prm2) ratio at both the mRNA and protein level. We therefore investigated whether male infertility could be related to the amount of Prm1 and Prm2 mRNA by applying real time quantitative PCR following RNA extraction from routinely Bouin-fixed and paraffin-embedded testicular biopsies. Samples (n = 51) were normalized to the sa...
متن کاملA novel mechanism of protamine expression deregulation highlighted by abnormal protamine transcript retention in infertile human males with sperm protamine deficiency.
Sperm protamine deficiency has been associated with human male infertility. However, the aetiology of deregulated protamine expression remains elusive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the underlying aetiology of protamine deficiency in male infertility patients with deregulated protamine expression. Protamine-1 (P1) and protamine-2 (P2) protein concentrations were compared against P...
متن کاملExpression of cellular protooncogenes in the mouse male germ line: a distinctive 2.4-kilobase pim-1 transcript is expressed in haploid postmeiotic cells.
We report that a 2.4-kilobase (kb) pim-1 transcript is expressed in the germ cells of mouse testis. Analysis of purified populations of spermatogenic cell types indicates that the 2.4-kb transcript is selectively expressed in haploid postmeiotic early spermatids. The evidence for a developmentally regulated expression of pim-1 in haploid spermatids suggests a possible developmental role for thi...
متن کاملProtamine 3'-untranslated sequences regulate temporal translational control and subcellular localization of growth hormone in spermatids of transgenic mice.
Although the mouse protamine 1 gene (mP1) is first transcribed in round spermatids, its mRNA is not translated until about 1 week later in elongating spermatids. To determine what mP1 sequences are important for its transcriptional and translational regulation, we have constructed fusions between mP1 and the human growth hormone (hGH) structural gene and analyzed their expression in transgenic ...
متن کاملTranscriptional and epigenetic status of protamine 1 and 2 genes following round spermatids injection into mouse oocytes.
The use of round spermatids that are fully active at the transcriptional level to create zygotes (i.e. round spermatid injection; ROSI) raises the question regarding the downregulation of all specific genes that are transcribed from the paternal genome at fertilization. In this study, we show that protamine 1 and 2 mRNAs, which are specific to the round spermatid stage, are repressed at the two...
